Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Brian Stanley #30059 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Fades Late in Final Mile Brian Stanley completed the 10K in 54:55, an average pace of 8:51 per mile. His race built steadily through the middle miles, holding in the low-to-mid 8:30s before a slight rise to 8:57 by mile four. Mile five proved his best stretch of the day, a 8:10 split that pulled his overall pace back down, before a 10:05 sixth mile closed things out at a slower tempo. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any pacing plan, and Stanley's ability to bank time in the middle miles reflects well on his execution. A touch more evenness between the fast fifth mile and the final stretch could smooth out the overall pacing curve next time out.
